Battery Removal and Disposal
This product uses Lithium Ion rechargeable and recyclable
batteries. When the batteries no longer hold a charge, they
should be removed from the Vac and recycled. They must
not be incinerated or composted.
The batteries can be taken for disposal to a BLACK+DECKER,
Company-Owned or Authorized Service Center. Some
local retailers are also participating in a national recycling
program (see "RBRC™ Seal"). Call your local retailer for
details. If you bring the batteries to a BLACK+DECKER
Company-Owned or Authorized Service Center, the Center
will arrange to recycle old batteries. Or, contact your
local municipality for proper disposal instructions in your
city/town.
To remove the battery pack for disposal:
1. First, before attempting to disassemble the product,
turn it on and leave it on until the motor completely stops
insuring a complete discharge of the batteries.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the seven screws
securing the two housing halves.
3. Lift the housing cover away from the assembly.
4. Detach all lead connections from battery pack.
5. Remove battery pack and dispose of as per
recommended guidelines.
The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corp oration) seal on the
nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or
lithium-ion batteries (or battery packs)
indicates that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery
packs) at the end of their useful life have already been
paid by BLACK+DECKER. In some areas, it is illegal to place
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and
the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.
